My not being there to watch live evidently missed nothing

Impact

W Morrissey jumps Eddie Edwards in the parking lot, ensuring he won't be in the show-opening match with Satoshi Kojima
Brian Myers tells Kojima to leave since he's no longer needed. Kojima gets double-teamed by Myers and Sam Beale; Jake Something makes the save
Kojima and Jake defeat Myers and Beale; Kojima pins Myers
Rosemary and Jessicka Havok tell Scott D'Amore they want a Knockouts tag title shot
Rachael Ellering defeats Tenille Dashwood via rollup despite distraction from Kaleb. Postmatch Tenille attacks, Jazz tries to fight her off, Jordynne Grace comes out and attacks Tenille and Konley, then hugs Rachael
Ace Austin and his alliance thank Chris Bey for staying out of the way if he's not going to join them
TJP and Fallah Bahh fight Willie Mack and Rich Swann to a no contest after Violent by Design destroy all of them. Eric Young gloats that nobody can stop them
Fire n Flava bully D'Amore into making Rosemary and Havok earn their title shot
Chris Sabin, Moose and Sami Callihan agree that they care more about representing Impact and shutting up Kenny Omega than hating each other
Bey defeats Petey Williams. Postmatch Ace, Rohit Raju, Madman Fulton and Mahabali Shera attack Petey, then also beat up Trey Miguel and Cedric Alexander for trying to help. Bey finally comes back to help the faces overcome the odds
Kimber Lee wants to bring back Su Yung now that she can't count on Deonna Purrazzo
Jake challenges Myers to a match where if Myers wins Jake will admit he's the most professional wrestler, but if Jake wins Myers must call him professional; Myers accepts
Steve Maclin defeats Manny Smith
Next week: Kimber Lee and Susan vs Rosemary and Havok; contract signing for Kenny/Sami
Team Callis (Kenny Omega and the Good Bros) defeat Team Dreamer (Sami, Sabin and Moose) after Team Dreamer disintegrates predictably; Karl Anderson pins Sabin. Omega poses with all four belts to close the show

Two weeks away and Slammiversary still only has 3 matches scheduled
Kenny defends against Sami
Moose vs Sabin
Ultimate X for the X title between Josh Alexander, Petey, Trey, Ace, Raju and Bey

Lots of people in the twitch chat try and keep saying it's not roid acne, it's totally because of the large amount of weight he lost, and just that.

Glad to see we're one step closer to reviving NWA:TNA.

No no no, the good part of the TJP / Fallah Bahh team is still in, he's getting a replacement partner.

Three matches with mystery participants! They're really hoping to cash in on some buzz of the last group of WWE releases.

Will this be a show worth paying for?

$20 with a VPN is reasonable, there's no outright stinkers on this card imho.

Eddie's a crowd favorite for sure and it wasn't a total squash - plus they've been building Morrissey up so this wasn't unexpected.

Who will be the next to challenge Kenny for the title, now that the Sami threat has been neutralized? Josh Alexander invoking option C? Jordynne Grace? Coconono mentioned Chris Sabin on discord yesterday, which could also be an interesting twist?

I know Impact did the whole deal with Tessa, but doesn’t TK have a sort of hard line against intergender matches (other than mixed tag rules)? I couldn’t see him being okay with his world champ/EVP doing a match like that.

I watched a few Impact shows with no crowds and they were really hard to get through. They definitely did the worst in that regard.

This show was better with a crowd but I still think Striker and the very bad camera work will keep me from watching Impact regularly. There were SO many missed shots, and not because they cut to a bad angle but because the camera people just don't know what to shoot and when.

Not a bad show overall, though, and Thunder Rosa loving ruled.

Yeah, that's just my wishful thinking - those two could have a banger match tho.

At least we didn't get Matthews.

I wonder how much of the camera gently caress-ups was due to them having less space to work with - that Skyway Studios stage is pretty small. But it's not like they had the greatest camera work to begin with.

And yeah, Thunder Rosa showing up was sick.

He televised the Riho/Kenny v Kip/Penelope match from the Jericho cruise after the fact, so it’s not a hard line stance. It seems like he doesn’t like the optics of it when done poorly, and probably doesn’t want to risk it on his show. As an example, he said most of the intergender stuff in the battle royale at the original All In didn’t bother him but there was a spot where a guy hit Jordynne Grace with a chair that he disliked a lot.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Matthews was in fact, directing that night and you could hear him on occasion because someone's headset was too loud.

That was a handheld cam released on one of the youtube shows (or just as it's own separate thing? I don't remember). Certainly not televised.
